Breaking down Wednesday’s match-play bracket at the 2023 Jackson T. Stephens Cup

DALLAS — It’s time for match play at one of the growing fall college golf events.

Stroke play for the 2023 Jackson T. Stephens Cup concluded Tuesday at Trinity Forest Golf Club, with Arizona junior Tiger Christensen capturing the men’s medalist honors while Texas’ Lauren Kim and Texas A&M’s Adela Cernousek tied after 54 holes. The duo went three playoff holes Tuesday night before darkness and will return Wednesday morning to crown a women’s individual champion.

The event is in its third year and is named in honor of the late chairman of Augusta National Golf Club and prominent Arkansas businessman Jackson Stephens. It features 54 holes of stroke play with a match-play final between the top two teams from stroke play battling for the team titles and a third-place match between the third- and fourth-place finishers from stroke play.
